How Can Working Capital Financing Help You and Your Business?

Guest post by: Kristin Thayer

Article Overview: There are many different options from the traditional loan through the bank to a Small Business Cash Advance. If you have paid cash for equipment but now need that cash back, you may also qualify for a Sale Leaseback. You may even obtain a Collateral Loan for your Working Capital Financing needs if you have the collateral.

How Can Working Capital Financing Help You and Your Business?

What are the qualifications? For the traditional bank loan, you will need to have higher credit and will probably need to have some time in business under your belt. The bank will most likely want to see your business financials as well to make sure your company is strong enough to support paying back the note. Banks do generally have decent rates and longer terms but can be more difficult to qualify for.

I have weaker credit. Does that mean I will not qualify? If you have weaker credit, don't count yourself out just yet because there may still be some options for you. A Small Business Cash Advance and Collateral Loan are great alternatives to getting the cash you need, when you need it. The qualifications are easier than a bank but the terms may not be as good. If you know that you need the cash and feel you may be a fit for these alternate types of business financing, it may be the best option for you.

Are you looking at Working Capital Financing Options for an equipment purchase for your business? Equipment Leasing may be a better option for you. You may get better tax advantages with a lease than just straight working capital and it may be easier to qualify for.

If you're having trouble, speak with your attorney or accountant to see what he or she recommends. There are a lot of choices out there for working capital needs so shop around and see what you can find.

Re: What is Your Favorite Thing About Owning A Business? - [quote="freddyb45":1t3lpfi8]For me it's the fact that all the time and effort you put in is worth a lot more, due to it making you "business" more profitable. Working for yourself is also a positive, although employing people you can trust is quite different.[/quote:1t3lpfi8] I like this idea. Working for yourself means you are investing in your own future, not someone else's, although there is value in working for someone else first to gain experience and confidence. Working for yourself does not automatically mean success, fame and fortune. For most entrepreneurs, it takes much work and dedication to get to the point of financial success and comfort - sometimes years. But the benefit is, again, you know you are investing in yourself and building equity for your own future. GT :-]
re: restaurant start-up - I'm not sure about government grants for restaurants, but my recommendation would be to approach a lender that offers loans under the Canadian Small Business Financing Loan program where the government will guarantee 85% of the loan. You can borrow up to $250,000 to finance equipment and renovations under this program. Restaurants are very risky business, however some of the Chartered Banks will look at restaurants if there is enough of an initial equity investment and you have a solid business plan (experienced management team, good concept and strategic location).
